Summer Makeup tips.

It's been makeup-meltingly hot these last few weeks in Toronto and, I can't lie, I've almost given up on makeup. What's the point when it just slides off your face, right? Well, I recently scored some tips from my fellow Cosmetician Co-workers. So here are three anti-sweaty makeup tips:

- To beat the heat and keep skin looking radiant but not shiny, try applying moisturizer and foundation with a wedge sponge instead of your fingers. That way, your skin receives the moisture it needs without taking in extra oil. 

- In hot weather, less is definitely not more.  Use a primer or base to stop sweat from seeping through foundation so you don't look shiny and your foundation stays put.

- Don't forget to set your foundation with a translucent loose powder in your T-Zone areas to lock the coverage in and make your makeup heat- and sweat-proof.


Stay Gorgeous Ladies.

The perfect necessary foundation application.

Hola Chicas!


Okay I cant stress this enough, I am tired of coming across females with foundation applied on and you can clearly see that her real skin tone is 3 shades up from her foundation shade.


Listen up Ladies. The key to the art of Makeup is B-L-E-N-D-I-N-G.
Makeup is art and Art takes patience SO blend till your wrists falls off haha.


So heres a quick tip on how to apply on your foundation perfectly:


Applying foundation with your fingers or a brush will create a little heavier application. If you want a lighter look use a non-latex makeup sponge. 

Blend your application on with "sweeping" motions, use a "stippling" motion in areas that need a little more coverage.

Focus on the center of your face where, we, most women have uneven areas, such as around the eyes, nose and mouth.

Finish with a light application of highlighter down the center of your nose, the top of your cheek bones and across your forehead!


Try Make Up For Ever HD Invisible cover foundation ($40 @ Sephora)


P.S. If you have oily skin or you hate that oily sheen you have after a few hours after your foundation application. Apply Translucent powder to your T-zone area and chin.

Easy Smokey Eye

Hola chicas!
All my clients always ask me the easiest way to do a smoky eye. I am always bedazzled by that question because smoky eyes are that hard to do. 


So here's the tip:

To get the perfect smoky eye look, you must create a gradation of color. Start by applying the darkest shadow shade on the lid. Place a medium shade in the crease and under the lower lash line. Finish with a pop of highlight shadow under the brow and on the inner corners of the eyes.

Don't be afraid to make your smoky eye more chic and sophisticated. Mix shades of gray and black with purple, green, silver, plum or blue, but for a neutral look go for the browns.


To avoid an "ash-fall" during your smoky eye application. Apply some loose powder or fold a tissue and place it under the lower lashes. Excess shadow falls on to the tissue or loose powder, not your skin.






Stay Beautiful!

Beauty Tip of The Day: Faking a Sun kissed look!

Its almost summer Ladies and i know how much every woman wants to create that Sun kissed look. Not everyone wants to go tanning or sit under the sun and boost the risk of skin cancer.


So heres a quick tip:


Apply bronzer to your temples, along the sides of your face and under your cheekbones. Finish with a pop of bright pink blush on the apples of your cheeks! 


P.S. Drink lots of water and you have a natural glow!

Beauty STEAL $$$

CoverGirl makes the BEST damn mascara under $10.  This new formula is no exception….Cover Girl’s Lash Blast Fusion is the best of both worlds – length and volume in one tube.  With past formulas you would have to layer or choose between length and volume.  Well choose no more! This formula will give you a bit of length mixed in with that amazing volume.  The only cons are that the brush is a bit tricky to use because it is larger than most and the volume isn’t as recognizable as the original but I guess that is the sacrifice that had to be made in the name of fusion.  BUT this is still a awesome mascara.  It uses fiber technology to get that length and my lashes weren't brittle feeling (BIG PRO for me).  Every time I wear Cover Girl mascara people always ask me what mascara I have on. Grab a tube at your local drugstore, the giant blue tube makes it hard to miss.


Stay Gorgeous

Beauty Find: NARS Summer 2010 Collection

NARS never disappoints and this collection is a mixture of brightness mixed with subtlety wrapped in a wash of coral.  The collection also has many cream based items (which I love).   Creamy based products are always great for warmer weather. The creator, François Nars looked for inspiration from the character Sèverine, played by Catherine Deneuve in the iconic film Belle de Jour.  “Her character is incredibly beautiful and elegant,” says François. “Her look is effortless—she has an incredible inner sophistication.”

The collection is designed to play well on a wide range of skin tones and let women’s natural beauty shine through. “I designed the makeup to bring a natural-looking glow to the skin, while allowing women to have fun with color. After all, summer is a playful season, nothing should be too complicated!”  I agree, the last thing I wat to do in the summertime is wear overly caked up , complicated makeup.

The Rundown:

To Buy List:

• Enchanted ($26)  This soft-peach cream blush delivers a hint of shimmer and smooth, silky color for a luminous complexion. The vitamin-enriched formula is long-lasting and blends easily for a sheer flush and healthy, glowing summertime skin. It’s sure to attract, entrance and delight.

• Burn It Blue ($32) An iridescent ocean-blue paired with turquoise creates a lively duo cream eyeshadow. The soft cream formula can be applied with the fingertips or a brush for more precision. Swipe one shade over the eyelid or layer one upon the other—the overlay is delicate, yet striking.

• Cayenne ($22) This spicy, deep brown cream eyeshadow is even hotter than its namesake spice. The intensely rich shade is tempered by a weightless texture, making it a versatile summer option. Use it to line or swipe it across the entire lid. Apply it sheer or layered for more color, intensity and pop.

• Love Devotion ($24) This nourishing, long-lasting sheer guava lipstick delivers a subtle and glistening color. Lips will be soft and sumptuously in season.

• Coup de Coeur ($24) Just like the French phrase it’s named after, this shiny, sheer apple-brandy tinted lip gloss is sure to yield love at first sight. The convenient wand application is perfect for adding gloss throughout the day for ultra-tempting fullness.

• LAMU ($38) My all-time favorite, The Multiple is now available in a fresh, glazed-apricot shade. It’s gold sparkles create shimmering accents and gives a glowing complexion. The lightweight, foolproof color is quick and easy, and takes the guesswork out of what goes where.

• Versailles ($16) This regal, opalescent, champagne-gold nail hue shimmers, creating a light-catching tint. The durable formula creates a gilded sophistication and a majesty that’s very modern.

NARS Summer 2010 Collection is available now at NARSCosmetics.com and should be on counters soon.

Stay gorgeous Ladies!
